See they aren't the cheap tapes though like you would buy in a Dollar General store, they are quality name tapes like JVC or Sony. I've also bought Zenith tapes there, which I LOVED. I wish I could find those suckers again! |

For me, the avoidable brands would be...
Of course LDK, RCA & Maxell. LDK because, well, they're just junk in a tape shell. And, they tend to be more expensive than good brands...ridiculous! RCA started out OK for me, but after I taped on the same segment twice, the picture and sound got really bad. We're talking pixelated, hurt-your-eyes junk...seems to be popular with a lot of people though...just not made for repeated use. Maxell - these aren't the worst, but they're not the best. Ever since they switched from Gold, Silver & Bronze to Standard, High, and Hi-Fi, the quality of tape went downhill. I rarely buy Maxell anymore, unless I find a Silver or Gold tape. Bronze, though, was pretty good and seeing as it was their cheapest line, was even better than Gold & Silver! If you find Bronze - get them! As for Big Lots, I've never seen JVC tape there. I did see TDK & Sony though, both were about $1.00 each...I buy JVC at Sears, although they have 10-packs for $10 at Best Buy... My favorite brand is still TDK...I rarely use anything else. Panasonic is good as well... |

I'm surprised no one has said anything about blockbuster blank tapes. Man they are awful.

So far, I have not used a bad tape brand. The best though is RCA in my opinion. I can get a 10 pack for $9.99 at Wal-Mart or K-Mart.
